nope that a fact for ps4 game, vs 50% are physical and digital (including indie). sony told publisher all game release for ps4 need to have a digital version. That why game like Kingdoms heart have a digital version on ps4 and never had a ps3 digital version.

Elk, you’re mistaken on this one. Puyo Puyo Tetris wasn’t even digital when it came out in Japan like 3 years ago on PS4. It’s some weird rights issue. Also, Guitar Hero Live wasn’t released digitally because you HAD to buy the disc because that was the only way to get the required guitar peripheral.

You mean 7 games as Outlast 2 is a part of Outlast Trinity. ;) . But that’s awesome you have the time and energy to spread it out between 3 systems though bro. I have an PSPRO, Vita and a PSVR and barely have time for those. :0
That’s a lot of games in the DROP! Woot woot.
Definitely a great time to be a gamer, so many games and so little time. This gen my backlog is insane… :)

I know Portal Knights isn’t out until 5/2 but the demo is now on the PS Store! It’s really fun and I highly recommend it. Also, it has split-screen COOP!! However split-screen COOP doesn’t work in the demo. The game is seriously a better more charming graphic Minecraft with RPG elements, lock-on and bosses. Day one buy for my son and I!

I really liked the first Syberia. The second was okay. The third one has gotten pretty mediocre reviews so far. Make sure you look into this since unlike Steam you can’t refund.

Major beefs are so-so graphics, animations worse than MEA, weak voice-acting, and a forgettable story. I refunded the Steam version after an hour with it. It’s just not worth the price of admission. I wish that had not been the case….

For modern adventure gaming, Silence is good although it’s way too short for the asking price….

Loved the demo for Outlast 2 so can’t wait to get to buy that, Got what remains of Edith Finch on Pre-order, Really want Dragon quest heroes 2 because i loved the first, also Shovel Knights 2nd free add on Specter of torment is finally coming to PS4 can’t wait to re-download Shovel Knight onto my console and play it.

I wish these games could each have a PSN store page up by the time this post comes out. Even if there’s nothing there except a “coming in 6 days” marker. I know for sure there are some small games I’ve lost track of because they had no store page to put on my wishlist.

Some of these look like they might be interesting, but to be honest, i’ll likely never know. Why arent there links to gameplay videos or previews or even the store page? This doesn’t seem like it would be a difficult feature to add, but i may be wrong.

Pretty interesting games. I’ve always been curious about Sniper Ghost Warrior and had no idea Outlast 2 was coming out but I might have to check it out. I have $60 total in psn gift cards and have been having a severe itch for BF1 now (but I just can’t justify spending $60 on it at this point and desperately want it to go on sale). Persona 5 looks amazing too and so does the Kingdom Hearts collection. Rime actually looks pretty cool but I’ve had my fill with Breath of The Wild so idk…I’m torn on what to get…I wanna make this $60 count.

Aside from the Vita Releases and River City, the rest is meh. And why the hell is Hamster Corp. giving us the crappy Neo Geo Games when the Switch got Samurai Shodown 4 and KOF 98, as well as Xbox One getting Fatal Fury 2? Anyone wanna answer that?

Any idea why Deathstate is on the US store, but can’t be found or purchased on the Canadian store? That was at the top of my list this week, so it’s super disappointing to see it missing on the Canadian store.

Outlast 2 on the PS Store is $39.99 Canadian, while it’s $32.99 Canadian on Steam, and $29.99 Canadian on Xbox One. I want Sony to explain why there’s a $10 difference for the same exact game on 2 different platforms.
